'Live like a local' in Fort Bragg's sunbelt neighborhood, just east of Otis Johnson Wilderness Park. This enchanting duplex was the winner of the 'Mayor's Well-Done Award' for new residence in 2021. Thoughtful details include: welcoming front porch where you can wave to walking neighbors, vaulted ceilings and open floor-plan where inside you'll find reclaimed redwood on window sills and one focal wall. Quiet solitude thanks to sound-isolating mineral wool insulation within all vertical walls, energy-efficient heating system and appliances (including Bosch washer and dryer), extensive built-in lighting (nearly all on dimmable wall controls), and three parking spaces (including one with an EV charger!) tucked away in the back of the property. Here's the surprise: this home has one living unit facing the street, and another identical unit facing a private back yard. Unlike any property you will find on the Mendocino Coast, each living unit is 1 bedroom, 1 bath -- perfect for one or two people aging in-place, or for a Coastal retreat. In either case, the property provides a second living unit to bring year-round income. Short distance to the C.V. Starr Aquatic and Recreation Center and its dog park, and close-in to restaurants and services in town. The home is wired for Xfinity's high-speed internet (and ready for the City of Fort Bragg's high-speed municipal internet service expected to launch in the second-half of 2025).' Features:- Energy- and space-efficient. Each unit is 616+/- square feet but lives much more spaciously thanks to the vaulted ceilings and open floor plans.- Extra care was given to the kitchen, which has soft-close cabinets.- Bosch washing machine and electric dryer are in each living unit.- KitchenAid stainless steel dishwasher is in each kitchen.- Primary countertops are poured-in-place concrete. - Each living unit has its own energy-efficient Daikin ductless mini-split compressor and heating head.- Hot water is provided by an on-demand propane hot water heater. - The walls are built with 2'x6' construction and insulated with 'mineral wool.' Walls are R23, ceiling is R38. - Exterior walls have two features to maintain a constant environment: Tape sealing the seams of the OSB sheathing and fire/air proof putty surrounding the electrical outlets.- Evergreen power bill from Sonoma Clean Power (for rear unit) has averaged $40 a month. The propane tank has been filled twice a year, with a monthly cost of less than $40.
